"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Are people in general less happy then they were 20 years ago?

For several reason i am less happy than i was 20 years ago. I feel more on edge

i think others are also. The one that is similar between then and now is that despite having my own anxieties i have some friends who are even more neurotic than I and thats not a good thing for me
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Alcohol and tobacco consumption rates are down, and everyone is miserable, even though we're living to heretofore unprecedented lengths. You all do the math on this subject

More so 30 years ago, because it was pre 9/11 and the economy was great, and by that I mean great for normal people. Jobs grew on trees. At 23, I had a nice condo, 2 cars, no debt, and 50% disposable income.

20 years ago was the sweet spot for technology. There was Internet, but no social media. There were cellphones, but no I-phones. The only thing I can think of that has gotten better are televisions. Everything else just improves corporate profits with each new advancement.

much better now than in the past. most problems solve themself if i just allow it.

others around me complain... but that is the same as always.

over time integrity will give calm, and knowing that being perfect is not possible.

there is always a biggest problem.

our journey ends in the same place... no need to rush.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I think mental health is at its lowest I've seen in my time on earth. Statistics back that up as well.

Too much stress, selfishness, rage, anxiety, social media. Lots of people isolate themselves causing more issues. Not enough believers out there.
